Mike Benedetti's Review, April 23, 1999:

Koichi Makigami

"He knows his flavors by denying them to his mouth."
--John Thorne, "Fat Cook, Thin Cook"
Makigami strolled near the railing at Highwire. The sound of his Jew's harp strolled with him. When he stood at the head of the room and vocalized, the groans and sighs dropped to the ground and rolled to the back of the room. When he leaned against the railing (like some dream of Sinatra) and began to throat-sing, I think the sounds mixed with the air, thickening it, causing solid objects to float slightly.
